Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Royals traded Kevin Appier to the Oakland A's in spring training and, for 'Ape', the Royals received which pitchers?

Answer: Stein, D'Amico, and Rigby

On an interesting note, Blake Stein must have been one great minor league pitcher because he was also the 'key' player involved in sending Mark McGwire to St. Louis.

Answer: Mark Ellis

While Berroa was considered a much better SS prospect, Mark Ellis just seemed to get the job done at every level.

3. This former Royals slugging prospect was traded to the A's as well. Who is he?

Answer: Jeremy Giambi

Well at least we could re-unite the brothers in Oakland. Too bad we couldn't have re-united them here even though we have Mike Sweeney.

4. The Royals were able to acquire Roberto Hernandez from the A's because the A's had traded Ben Grieve to what team earlier that day?

Answer: Tampa Bay

5. The Royals feared not being able to re-sign this slick fielding shortstop so they were 'forced' to trade Jermaine Dye for Niefei Perez. Who was this glove man up the middle?
